Be Offered to Speaker Carlisle. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 17.—The ‘President is considering the subject of a sue. cessor to Mr. Manning. At first he thought favorably of appointing Assistant Secretary ‘Fairchild. Certain very prominent and influ ential friends of the President have said to him that he should select a more representa- tive man than Mr. Fairchild; that he should strengthen his D stron . — + BA back of him. Several of the President’s friends have suggested the ace. The Speaker Carlisie for th President had a long talk with s Aker Carlisle on the general subject of the Treasury man. ment last Sunday. There wos no more a mere suggestion in this talk that Mr. isle might be invited to take a place in the Sabinet as Mr. Manning’s successor. Mr. Car- le was asked last evening if he had been offered the Treasury portfolio. He said he had not, and could not say what he would do if he were to be offered the place. He did not consider it good taste to discuss a possibility which bas not yet risen. Later in the evening it was learned that the President is inclined to offer the Treasury to Mr. Cariésle, but will un- doubtedly take pains tolearn whether Mr.Car- lisle —2 accept before making him a formal offer. An intimate fiend of the Speaker said: „Mr. Carlisle would be complimented with the offer, but I am confident wuuld not accept. It would be out of keeping with the dignity of his to take the second choice of the Treasury and continue with the fag end of Mr. Manning’s work. — —— —— THE TEXAS ELECTION. Investigation of the Alleged Frauds by the Senate Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 17.—E. M. Brown (colored) was the first witness before the Texas committee to-day. He was clerk of election at Greenville precinct; 347 votes were cast, of which 200 were Republican, mostly colored. There was a — deal of at or near Sheffield, Ala. noise and * te bye SP from the time the polls closed at 6 o'clock, and-a good deal of shoot- ing; but the election officefs were not dis- turbed. Witness did not hear any threats toward colored men, but a good many col- ored men were alarmed and ‘‘runned off.’’ The whites were ina row along themselves. One man was knocked in the head by a weight Witness described the | | des, | McKinley, Millard, BALLOTS TORN UP. Connell and Butcher, officers, laughed atthe affair. Witness never saw the box afterward, but was told bya colored man that he had seen the the fence broken in pieces votes all torn and scattered abo the ground. During ess ofthe count people entered several 8 how the count was going, par- ticularly with regard to the candidate for county judge. The People’s tickets were con- siderably scratched, and at the suggestion of one of the Democratic judges these scratched were separated and counted Republican tickets being . At the time of the giving out of the tickets but ninety-six ha counted, and they were straight Republican, without any others. Of those counted Mr. Scheutze, Republican candidate for County Judge, had fifteen majority over Judge Kirk. Bolton, Democratic candidate for County Commissioner, about whom inguiries were made by outsiders during the evening, was also running behind. ANOTHER WITNESS. G. A. Mayo, colored, was sworn. Previous to beginning his examination a colloquy took lace been Senators Spooner and Eustis, with regard to the propriety of entering upon an inguiry with regard to the throwing out of the ‘‘diamond-shaped’’ Republican tickets. Senator Spooner offered to submit the question to the committee for decision, but Senator Eustis, while maintaining that the question was a merely legal one and in nowise related to the ‘‘outrage’’ which the committee was directed to investigate, waived his objections. Witness was an inspector of election at Independence precinct. Three hundred and twenty-nine votes were cast. The Republican tickets were diamond-shaped. The Democratic presiding judge, Mr. Seward, alter having permitted the count to proceed for a time, fen ofthe diamond tickets havin **T object dem der said, according to witness: ey aint no tickets being a counted any mo; legal tickets.’’ 4 Ye Tinkling Chestnut Bell. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. WASHINOTON, D. C., February 17.—The inventor of thechestout bell was before the patent office yesterday endeavoring to patent an improvement on his previous invention. The improvement consists of an attachment which will possibly give anew lease of lifeto the now obsolete bell. The new devise con- pists of an elastic band connected with the bell but fastened to the other side of the coat. When the bell is struck a miniature rat runs across the breast ofthe wearer, and stops in full view of the victim. To make it more effective the word „Rats, in white letters on the black back und is inscribed on the rat. The inventor Wanted a patent that would cover not only the | devise, but the word ‘‘Rats’’ also, his idea ing to prevent any infringement on this ex- ion, After due deliberation the examiner ecided that so necessary a word as ‘‘rats’’ was not patentable, and declined to grant the monopoly. The other features of the device were favorably acted upon. Appointments by the President. Wasntnetor, D. C., February 17.~—The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Treasury—Samuel N. Aldrich of Massa- chusetts, to be Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Boston; John Mercer of Iowa, to be Surveyor of Oustoms at hlin of Iowa, to ubugue, Io.; of Wisconsin, be Col- stor of Customs for the District of Alaska.

Mr: Wilson of Iowa presented petitions of citizens of Iowa, in favor of a board of internavional arbitration. Bills were reported from committees and placed on the calendar as follows: To extirpate pleuro pneumonia and foot and mouth disease, and to facilitate tne exporta- tion of cattle; to enable Indian tribes to bring suit in the tribal names in the United States eeurts in certain cases; to authorize the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole nations of Indians to lease lands for mining purposes, and to validate leases heretofore made; for the relief of the assignee of John Roach; bills to authorize the construc- tion of bridges over the Missouri river at Lexington, Mo., and over the Tennessee river the building ofa navy For settlement of the accounts of certain States and the City of Baltimore, growing out of moneys expended for military purposes in the war of 1812. Bills were introduced and referred as fol- l ows: By Mr. Whitthorne: To oreate a naval re- serve in auxiliary cruisers, officers and men from the mercantile marine of the United States. Mr. Plumbd presented a Army post of Kansas for the passage (over the President’s veto) of the dependent relatives pension bill. Laid on the table. oo from a Grand WASHINGTON, D. C., February 17.—The Speaker laid before the House the message from the President returning without his ap- roval the bill appropriating $10,000 for a — distribution of seed to the drouth- stricken counties of Texas. Mr. Lanham of Texas moved that the Dill and accompanying message be referred to the Committee on Agriculture. Inasmuch, he said, as he had introduced this bill, he was unwilling to let the occasion pass without say- ing a word in vindication of the action of Con- ress In passing this measure. In core so, it ollowed the precedents established in 1875 and in 1883, when bills of a similar character were passed by Congress and became laws. If the organisation of the Department of Agri- culture were constitutional, if seeds could be distributed for the declared object of promoting agriculture, if the agricuitural interest was continental in its character, then the needs of agriculture should be considered equal in rank to any otber requirement of the Government. Whenthe Government was ac- customed to make mineral distribution, it did not seem unconstitutional to concentrate that distribution in a particular locality where the need wus greater. The motion to refer was lost—57 to 74. The question was then put „Would the House pass the bili, the Presi- dent’s objections to the contrary notwith- —vyeas , nays 160. The following was the affirmative vote: An- derson (Kansas). Baker, Brady, Boutelle, Brown (Ohio), rown ‘Ivania), Bu- ennsylivania), Cutcheon, Dorsey, Evans. Findlay, Fisher, Fleeger, Fuller, Funston, Gallinger, Gay, Ged- Gilfillan, Goff, Grosvenor, Hale, Har- mer, Henderson (lowa), Herman, Hitt, Hires, Houk, Jackson, Johnson (In- Lanham, son, O'Donnell, O“ Hara, O'Neil vania), Payson, Peters, Perkins, Plumb,Price, Reed, Rowell, Ryan, Sayers, Sessions, Smalls, Stevenson, Strait, Swinburne, Symes, Wadsworth, Warner (Mo.), Weaver (lo.) Weaver (Neb.), Weber, West, White (Penn.), Mr. Hammond of Georgia called up the conference report upon the anti-Mormon bill. Mr. Bennett of North Carolina spoke against the aduption of the report. He wished to subject the bill reported conference com mittee to 4 legal analysis and he begged house to hear him not for his cause, but for the cause of right, of justice and of conscience. The first section made the wife a competent witness against her husband in the trial of any indictment for pigamy polygamy or unlawful cohabitation but did not compel her to vestify. In every state where a wife was a competent witness, a refusal on her part to testify could not be held to the hurt or injury to the defendant. But no such terms were used in this bill, anda refusalof the wife to testify might be construed by the prosecuting offiter as a proof of the guilt of the accused, or a suspicious circumstance. THE VERDICT APPROVED. J. W. West Convicted of Murder in the Sec- ond Degree at Lamar, Mo. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. 0 LAMAR, Mo., February 7.— The case of the State vs. J. W. West, forthe murder of S. K. Reynolds on the first day of last March, came to a conclusion at noon to-day, the jury been | countersigned, leanec back in his chair and | finding the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree, and assessing the punish- ment at twenty-five years in the penitentiary. The difficulty which led to the killing arose about a piece of land that West claimed, but that Reynolds had rented from R. W. Burr. The case attracted much attention since it began, the court-room being acked almost to suffocation ali the time. he verdict meets hearty approval. AHEAD OF THE LAW.

Trading in mining stocks to-day was light; values unchanged. The Dr. Vordick, one of the committee sent out to examine the Boss mine, returned from Breckenridge this morning. The trustees will hold a meeting Saturday. The Key Mining Company, owning two claims in the Wood River D ‘strict Idaho, has organized and d Jas. Edwards President. Some stock for development purposes will be placed on the market. The mine belongs to Col. Doni- phan of St. Joseph, his brother and Mrs. Key of lowa. — 5 * The pool on Peerless stock has been dis- solved. A large amount of tue stock is held here, ut none of it has changed hands in A long time. The last bid for it was $l. The capital stock is 2,000,000 in $10 shares. It is not likely much of the stock will get on the market. Granite Mountain was stronger again to-day, although it did not see any great advance. It was $64 bid and $65 was paid for small lots. President Rumsey will return from the mine thie afternoon. 1 Sheridan was unchanged at 22% cents to- day. Mullally sold Stettinius 1,000shares at that price. It is notexpected that much will be done in the way of reorganization until the expert is heard from which may be two weeks hence. 5 * „* A company has been formed to work the Conception mine in Mexico. It is an old abandoned mine. The owners are the St. Louis people interested in the Mexican In- vestment and Improvement Company. A small syndicate has been organized to | work the 2 group of three parallel claims near Kingston, N. M. The property was brought here by a man named Menden- hall. He wanted a large sum for it. Joe Mullally took hold of the thing and finally made him a proposition. The syndicate formed would sink to a depth of 100 feeta shaft now down 50 feet and would cross-cut 25 feet in either direction. If the property then suited them they would accept it. tt not they would return it. Mendenhall accepted and left for Kingston this morning. > 7 * W. C. Tonkin of the Lochiel writes on the 10th inst. (which is the last letter received by the company) that as the development pro- gresses the mine shows up better, not only in point of opening up new bodies of carbonate ores, but as to indications of a better grade of ore; that ‘‘in a drift on the first level we opened out yesterday an ore body 5 feet wide. On the same level in another drift the night shift dropped intoa cave that was filled with manganese and the walls were crystalized lime. n the second level the drifts have a good breast of ore which is making into Little Chief ground.

Manager John W. Norton Cannot Survive Until Morning. Manager John W. Norton is at death’s door. Dr. Wm. F. Kier, who visited him to-day about noon, gave up ali hope of doing any- thing to stop the work of dissolution which disease is rapidly jdacocomplishing, and stated to Mrs. Norton and the friends of the sinking manager that he might breathe his last at any moment and in all human proba- bility could not live until to-morrow morning. Mr. Norton has been a very sick man fora year past, and has been in poor physical condition for several ears. hen the disease which is taking his life made its appearance he did all that could be done to stay it, but without avail. He was under Dr. Kier’s treatment here, spent some time at Hot Springs and finally went to New York, where the finest medical skill was called upon to ald him. There was doubt at first as to what his complaint was. He suf- fered terrible pain as from rheum- atism or neuraigia and it was thought that his nervous system was disordered. His stomach also was 80 de- ranged that he could scarcely eat anything, and his sufferings throughout his illness have been excruciating, but have been borne with manly fortitude and patience. There is no man in the theatrical profession who is better known and more universally loved and esteemed, and his friends everywhere watched his fight against disease with anxious dread. While he has kept up heart and has striven to be cheerful, it was event that day by day the insidious work of the destroyer has been going on steadily. He became thinner and more haggard, and the lines of pain grew deeper and deeper on his handsome face while his step became feebler and feebier until although he bravely kept on his feet to the last it was evident that it was at a terrible cost of will power and strength. After Mr. Norton and wife went to New York he had a most severe attack and it was reported several times that he could not live. He rallied, however, and at his own and his wife’s urgent desire he was brought to this city, where his home has been since his retirement from the stage. When he came from New York Dr. Kier and his friends were surprised to see him looking 80 little changed from his appearance when he left. He was thin and weak, but he showed unexpectea strength and improved apparently from the day he reached the city. rs. Norton, who had watched and tenderly waited on him throughout his __ill- ness, was discouraged and hopeless, and seemed almost as ill as ber husband from care and anxiety, gained heart and gave up in large measures her fear of fatal consequences. Mr. Norton’s appetite returned and he gained fleshand strength, but it soon became evident to his physician that locomotor ataxia, an incurable affection of the spinal cord, was the cause of his trouble. He might live for years but could never get well and woulc be a helpless invalid. No fear of immedi- ately fatal consequences were anticipated until yesterday morning. He was attacked by a diarrhea accompanied by the most severe ains and he soon became unconscious. Dr. ‘ier was summoned at once and remained with the sufferer nearly all day yesterday and last night doing all ia his power to heip him, but without avail. The patient could take noth- ing into his stomach, medicine, food or drink, and there was nothing to do except await the end. Mr. Norton has been in this uneonscious condition, growing weaker and weaker every hour since he was first at- tacked. To-day it was evident shat every minute was bringing him nearer Msend. He was attended by friends who did ali possible to soothe and aid him. Dr. Kier was seen bya Post DISPATCH re- porter this afternoon, and stated substantially what has been given. He said: ‘‘I do not think he can possibly live until morning, and he may die at any moment. THE SUIT AGAINST BUTLER. Some Very Strong Evidence Offered Against the Plaintiff. NEW Lont, February 17.—The suit of J. H. Lester against Gen. B. F. Butller for $100,000 damages fot false imprisonment during the war was continued to-day. Maj. J. L. Steckpole of Boston was called for Gen, Butler. He becsme Jadge Advo- cate of the Military Commission in 1582. He was also on Gen. Butlers's staff. The record of Lester's trial was made under Maj. Stackpole’s supervision. The record was produced. It showed that the of- cers of the court were legally sworn. An objection was made to the records as evid- ence, on the ground that there was no certainty of its correctness. The objection was overruled and an exception taken. Maj. Stackpole was certain that Lester read his statement before the, commission. After trial the papers were fprwarded to Wash- ington, and approved by tbe Secre- tary of war Witness said Lester offerea Stanton’s telegram to Butler in evidence. Special order No. 10, creating the mil- itary commission, was then offered as evidence and also the sentence of the commission in Lester’s case. It was to the effect that Lester should be imprisoned for ten years with bali and chain. This was signed by order of the Secretary of War and W. A. Nichols, Assistant Adjutant-General. The State penitentiary at Albany was designated as the place of confinement. RECONSIDERED. The Militia Bill Gets Another Chance in the Missouri House. By Telegraph to the Post- DISPATCH. JEFFERSON City, Mo., February 17.—When the House reassembled at 2 o'clock, Mr. Newman of Randoiph County, moved tore- consider the vote by which the militia bill failed to go to engroisment last Tues- day. Mr. Shaw of ste. Genevieue, made a strong appeal in favor of the motion, hoping that the House would give to the bill the discussion and consideration which its importance merits. Mr. Saulsberry of Chariton followed with a speech in the same strain, and Mr. Moore of Laclede opposed the consideration, claiming every member understood was voting on when defeated. They thought it waste of the time of the House to con- sider the subject again. Capt. Bridges anda number of others explained that they would vote for the reconsideration, although op- sed to the bill. The ballot resulted, 8 ayes, noes; and the bill will de reconsidered and voted upon again for engrossment. a useless EVERY PATTISEAT SOLD. A Patti Matinee Concert to be Given on March 15.

There are exactly 43,507 seats in the hall, and such a sale is unknown in the history of amusements here.

It has often been said that somewhere in this world every person has his double. The assertion is too b for acceptance, but it is certain that there are doubles and that the close similarity between peo- le has led to many grave complications. tis not ten years ago thata man named Hiram Weston, living in asmall town in Ontario, was hired by a tinsmith to drive a peddler's wagon. He made two trips and started on a third, but after he had been gone two days the outfit was returned by a farmer, who said that it had been left in his barn-yard at night. As Weston was missing, search was at once begun, and it was finally shown that he had been seen in company with two strangers at a railway station, where all had taken the train for Buffalo. As the tinsmith had lost nothing, he did not care to follow the case up. It was prett generally known that Weston and his wife did not live agreeably, and although she insisted that he had met with foul play and wanted the search continued, it was dropped on the idea that he had run away from her. He was little missed by the community, and when the case was called up it was universally conceded that he would turn up safe when he got ready. One day, five months after his disap- pearance, Weston returned. He was first seen at the depot by three or four citizens who had known him for ten years. One of these, a Mr. Williams, saluted him with: ‘‘WELL, HI, YOU AREN’T DEAD?’? Oh, no.“ Come back to stay! 1 guess so.“ „Which way have you been!“ „Out West.“ „J was talking with your wife yester- day, and she said you had never written a word to her.“ Weston grinned and scratched his head, —— made no reply. A Mr. DeMaun then said: We spent four weeks looking for a case of murder. Next time you are going to step out you had better let some of us know it.’ „es, I will,“ answered Weston, as he started up the street. It was afterward remembered that he acted like a strange man in a strange place. He inguired ofa boy about hotels, and the lad directed him to one and added: ‘*IT saw your boy Fred yesterday, and he has got an awful boil on his leg.’ The landlord of the hotel saluted him as Hi Weston, as did some of the guests, and the fact of his engaging board was not considered strange, ough his wife lived only a mile away. erhaps he didn’t intend to go back to her at all, or ow neg he wanted to get certain promises efore he did go back: He enfered the town at 10 o’clock in the afternoon. and it was 8 in the evening when his son Fred, a boy of 10, and his daughter Edith, a girl of 7, called at the hotel to urge him to come home. They kissed him, called him father, and he seemed glad to see them. In the presence of the landlord he asked some questions about their mother, which seemed very strange at the time, but were at once forgotten. HE ASKED HER AGE, how many children she had, how long the father had been gone and what vocation he followed when at home. He did not ask these questions direct, but yet in such a manner that satisfactory answers were returned, and in such a way as to cause the landlord to remark: ‘“‘Why, Hi, one would think you had — your family and had lost your- self. Jes.“ he replied, as he rose up to go with the children; but l’ve been gone quite a spell, you know.“ Mrs. Weston was neither smart nor an educated woman, and had the reputation of having a bitter tongue. Several gee" le followed Hiram home to see the fun ut there was none. The wife met and kissed him at the door, and had no re- proaches. After two or three days he went to work diggmg a well for a citizen, and for the next six months he labored very steadily—so much 80 that it was generally remarked that Miram Weston had changed histune. He seemed to live very happily with his family, and his wife’s father, mother and brothers were often at the house to speak his praise. At the end of about six months a very cu- rious thing occurred. Hiram Weston started off one — with his dinner-pail, having been hired to repair a fenos for a suburban farmer. At 10 o’clock that morning Hiram Weston came in on the train from Buffalo, and the first thing when he got off the cars he asked after his family. Why, I saw you at home last even- ing. replied the citizen who had been questioned. But I have not been nearer home than this for over eleven months!’’ He was laughed at. He went straight to his house, and as he entered it his wife asked: What's the matter, and WHERE IS YOUR DINNER PAIL?’’ Now, scoff if you will, but it is a matter of record and also of newspaper publica- tion that there were two Hiram Westons. That is, there were two men so exactly alike in build, heightand general appear- ance that even his wife and children were deceived. Fora time Mrs. Weston be- lieved the newcomer to be the other Hiram returned from his work, but he told her a story which opened her eyes. He had gone off with a couple of sharpers, and in return for some work“ done in Buffalo he had been sent to State Prison fora year. He was in prison when the other Weston came to town, and had indeed been discharged only the day previous to his own arrival. It may be stated here that all his alle- ations were found tobe true. He was dentified by the prison officials, and there was his description on the books. The de- tective who arrested him and the judge who sentenced him further identified him. Who, then, was the other Hiram Wes- ton? Although he left his house with his mere to go to work, he did not show up at the place, and has not since been heard from. When people came to see and talk with the true Weston many peculiarities were remembered, He u more oaths than the other; he had a habit of spitting as he talked; his voice was somewhat gruffer; he never stood for two minutes without hitching up his trousers, sailor fashion; he acknowledged some small debts, which the other totally repudiated. THE CHILDREN HAD NO EXPLANATIONS to offer, as the true father had never ex- hibited any affection for them. The stranger had been more kind, and no suspicion of his identity had been borne. The wife was covered with confusion, but she offered in explanation the fact that Weston had been absent five months. She had noticed many changes, but all for the better. The stranger was nota talkative man, while her husband was, but she got over this by thinking he had met with trouble while away. She used some- times to be startled fora moment asshe looked at him or as he epee some questions which would ve been asked by @ stranger, but as for denying that he — T SALE OF POL ACK 8 NOW BEING SOLD AT RETAIL AT 50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, OODS, CHILDREN’S SPRING GOODS now on tives Herbert and Emmett Jones Richard Thomas in the: afternoon. i Justice Ryan.

The real one was a foundling from New York City. It was not improbable that he had a twin brother and that the stranger was the one. It was possible, too, that the stranger was not related to him, noe his double. Why he went away as he wasafurther mystery, for he could not have foreseen that anything was going to happen. But for the evidence in black and white people would have believed him aghost. The writer has no further theories to offer. He has known Hiram Weston and family ever since the strange pen- ings, and visited them at the depot St. Thomas less than a month ago. The par- ticulars herein given, strange as they may read, were gathered from their own lips, and who can imagine they would invent such a story? I have ey suppressed the right name, as Weston is now a resi- dent of another locality and in a place to make gossip an unpleasant thing. PHYSICAL CULTURE, Meeting of the Western Society in the School Board Room. The Western Society tor the Advancement of Physical Culture will hold ite first meeting in the session-room of the School Board Sat- urday afternoon at4o’clock. A circular in- vitation has been issued to the teachers of the Public Schools, and the meeting will no doubt be well attended by them. The cir- cular itself explains the object of the society. ‘‘The association, it says, ‘‘has organized for the purpose of making physical culture an essential part of the edu- cation of our youth, a matter too muoh overlooked in this country, and at the same time of enabling teachers by ractical training and theoretical explana- ions to further this object. A similar society exists in the Kust, and numbers among its members the most prominent educators of our country.’’ The object of the meeting Saturday is to give the teachers in the public schools an ideaof the methods used by the members of the s0- ciety in their 9 as teachers. Practical illustrations of these methods will be given at the meeting and their disadvantages shown at the same time. Fifteen minutes are allotted every day for calesthenics in the public schools, but the methods are left within the discretion of the principals and often of the individual teachers. The So- clety proposes to submit its system to the teachers at the same time, seeking an interchange of ideas on the subject. The President of the society is Mr. M. J. Secretary mittee in meeting and their _ persoual supervision tothe exposition of the various movements, exercises, eto., used by the Se- ciety is composed of Messrs. J. Toensfeldt, H. L. Stumpf, A.

How Lewis Cleveland Met His Death on a Burned Steamer. From the Century for February. A tragedy is connected with the prin. pal hotel, the Royal Victoria, whic — ciates it with our own recent history.

Executors, ne of these executors has since bes called to administer upon a larger estate, The occasion of his visit to Nassau in 1873 was the sudden and melancholy death of his brother, the lessee of the hotel. He was lost on the steamer Missouri. burned off Abace Island on the morning of Octo. ber 22,1872. Another brother of President Cleveland, Mr. R. C. Cleveland, and 3 brother-in-law were also among the vie. tims of this disaster. Lewis Cleveland Was a man of strong personality. and stories told of him would indicate that some of the characteristics og his distinguished brother are family traits. An inexorable rule of his hotel management forbade the payment of fees. One waiter who accepted a Christ. mas gift was promptly dismissed. The se whose gratitude for special services had thus found expression finally secured the reversal of the sentence on condition that the gift should be returned. ‘*[ wij] not,’’ said Mr. Cleveland, have those in my house who are unable or unwilling to fee the servants put to any disadvan. tage.” Itistold of Mr. Cleveland that ashe wason his way tothe steamer at New York he said: I do not know how it is, but I have an impression that I[ can- not getrid of that this will be my last voyage.” Soit proved, not only to him, but to sixty-eight others of the eighty-five persons who sailed in the Missouri as pas- sengers and crew. THE SEALSKIN COAT, The American Art of Dyeing Now Superior to All Others. From the Brooklyn Citizen. The sway of the sealskin as a fashiona.- ble garment has been uninterrupted until very recently, when a few murmurs have been heard at its affectotion by all classes of feminine society. The criticism of its degredation must have been written bya man who is ignorant of the sub- ject. There are sealskins and there are sealskins, and no woman with half an eye fails to perceive the fact, The woman with a $00 ulster dropping to her feet is just as proud and conscious of her individuality and superiority as the one with a $100 sack is crushed by its frowsy cheapnessand inferiority. The man who saw, or thought he saw, the. seai- skin becoming too common for ultra fashionables must be a cousin-german of the man who thought a woman could be induced to lay aside her bonnet on going into a theater, and pay an attendant a uarter to care for it untilshe came out. Admiral Fitzroy tells us, as to changes of the weather, that what “long comes, long lasts.“ The sealskin was a long time coming, and itis destined for a lengthy 8 AT ropos of the subject, it may be interest- ing to know that American art now excels foreign skill in the communication of the uality so essential to a handsome seal- Ain namely, the dye. What was known as the London dye held the vantage ground for years, until a furrier in Albany elaborated a superior process. Of course he made an immense fortune. He kept the secret to himself so closely that that he maintained a monopoly of the market. He died in the ordinary course, but the secret was imparted to his son a few years before his death, and is still exclusively employed by him. Bismarck and the Length of His Life. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Prince Bismarck’s second speech is chiefly interesting because of his declara- tion that, although he expected to live three years longer, he expected to die be- fore seven had passed. He gave this as one of the reasons why he refused to interfere with the Septennate. Prince Bismarck is now 73. He antici- tes death between 1890 and 184. That s to say, he expects to live till he is 7% and die before he is 80. It is not everyone who calculates so closely as to the proba- ble duration of his existence. It would be avery interesting subject to investigate how far the plans of statesmen are thus modified by their expectations of life. It used to e said that both ‘‘our old man in a hurry’? and our “young man ina hurry’’ were impatient from the same cause. Mr. Gladstone's 12° precludes the possibility of many yea's of prolonged — 2 and Lord ne dolph’s constitution is so impaired tha! medical authorities are said to have warned him not to expect more than ve or six years of a career. That maybe mythical, but there is no doubt that the consciousness that Mr. Gladstone has ony a few golden years to live dominates every calculation of Mr. Parnell, and, probably, if the truth were known, of every politician in Parliament. ; What Our Statesmen Drink. From the Boston Traveller. The President and his official admirers are nota unit upon the drink question. Mr. Cleveland likes a glass of plebelan beer, but since his increasing stoutness be has used it in very moderate quantities, Sie has no love for the stronger drinks, and confines himself almost exclusively to malt liquors. Mrs. Cleveland is 4 strict temperance woman, and does not drink even the light win Secretary Bayard likes red wins and a glass of good old Burgundy is b's deli ht.

Justin McCarthy, who lectured last night at Music Hall, showed 4 very large audience what manner of man he is; but he is still an unknown quantity toa much larger audience than the Music Hall chairs could con- tain. Yesterday afternoon ai delega- tion of Irish citizens, Knights of St. Patrick for the most part, went out in a special car furnished by Superintendent Dick- inson of the Union Depot Railway Company to meet the incoming O., B. & O. train due in St. Louis at 5 o’clock, on which Mr. McCarthy was. The special met the train at the Wabash junction near Venice, and the C., B. & C. train attached the special car. Mr. McCarthy, who had been informed he would be met by a dele- gation, was ushered by Messrs. J. H. Mo- Namara and J. W. McCullagh into the coach where the delegation awaited him. He shook the hand of every person in the car as they pushed forward to be introduced, und gave to all a pleasant word. When the introductions were finished a Post- DISPATCH reporter took possession of him and induced him to talk until the Union Depot was reached. THE LECTURER is quite short, but an inch or two over 5 feet high. His head is large, hair that was once a reddish brown streaked with grey now and a beard almost white, having here and there a suggestion of youthfulred. His skin is of asoft pink color and the whole mekeup of the man suggests more than anything elsea city doctor with a good practice. His eyes are quite weak and the spectacies are only left off when inces-nez are substituted. The eyes are — blue—an Irish blue. One may not talk with him a moment without making a mental note, ‘‘Heisagentieman,’’ and after a time another compliment will be paid bim in an- other mental note—‘‘He is an Irish gentle- man. „Wil Ireland be given home- rule? Not this session, but without a shadow of a doubt before long. Not many years can go by now. This ministry may bring in a bill, may offer to undertake the cause of the Home Rule Rony. The Tory party has always done that. hen it saw a reform was inevitable it undertook to bring abouta reform. The present ministry will ight through this session by keeping the Irish question in the background and only discuss amendments to the rules, but before next session, it will be long, perhaps in the foree to the support of abome-rule bill for Ireland. „ie the sentiment in favor of a system to have government for Ireland growing in England?“ My goodness! yes. For a long time the English people were misinformed on the sub- jectand on the necessity for reform in the overnment of that unhappy country. The people in America knew more about the subject than the average Englishman. We have worked for years to bring about a ch 0 in thie condition. We have insisted on the Englishman knowing more about Ireland.“ „How was this change Drought about?“ „The Home Rule party TOOK POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE of Commons and insisted on discussing nothing else than the Irish question. We kept it be- fore the people all the time, im all weather, and all seasons. After a time the Liberal party leaders woke upto the urgency of our case and took hold with us.’’ „Gladstone was aroused?’’ „es, he had always been in sympathy with us, but did not quite see his way until within the last year. Then he took hold, and he has refused to do anything but work for the establishment of a home parliia- ment for Ireland. Hehas come to think that this will be the‘crowning work of his life; prob- ably the last great reform that he will be concerned with. I was glad to see in the cable news to-day that he has refused to have any- thing to do with Chamberlain’s plan. Cham- berlain wanted separate parliaments for Ulster and the rest of Ireland. I represent one ofthe most ultra Orange cities of Ulster, and I know that Ulster does not need a separate Parlia- ment, and there would be no justification for such separation. ou were torced to contest the seat you now hold, were you pot“ es, and received information that I had been seated after my arrival in this country.

The present ministry will, as I said before, when it realizes how inevitable this reform is, bring in a bill, a few faint-hearted Liberals will secede to its support and the bill will be passed. That is the history of every reforin in England. First, the Liberal party proposes it, lastly the Tory party fathers it, modifies it too, as far as poseible—snatching as much of Victory as may be from defeat.

This they did after three hours’ de- liberation, and it was generally understood inthe jury chairs. In answer to the usual — stion, if they had agreed upon a verdict, © foreman replied in the affirmative, and Clerk Finney opened their sealed verdict of not guilty and read ittothem. When asked if that was their verdict thay all replied that it was and were discharged from further service by the Court. Withrow’s mother and another lady relative who have been sitting beside him during the trialcame upto where he sat and the mother fell upon his neck, kissed him passionately and wept tears of joy.

This restrained the mother’s joy fora while, but Circuit Attorney Clover s00n announced that he would enter a nolle oy in the case of assaultte kill against the defendant, which was the only other ch e ——7 bim. The Court then discharged Withrow altogether. The mother sprang to her feet, and, throwing her arms again about her son, who was now standing, re him on the back, and crying Oh, my oy! Oh, my boy!’’ wept aloud with joy. She created such a scene in the court-room that the Judge had to order her removal to an ante- room. After remaining there some time the left together.

Mr. Shaw is confi- dent of carrying his motion, and should he do so will probably set next Tuesday for further consideration of the bill. An absurd story was in circulation this morning that a combination had been formed by the militia and submission parties, the ob- ject of which was to secure the passage of the submission resolution in the Senate and the militia billinthe House. Prominent leaders on botb sides deny the truth of the report and say that their respective measures must stand or fall on their merits. Laying aside all of the claims of the friends of the militia and com- ing down to brass tacks,’’ as Moore of Laclede would say, a bill which has been favorably reported upon by a committee and then re- ceives only 49 votes as against 84 on engross- ment, is certainly in a very bad way, and there must have been a great deal of ‘‘misapprehension’’ on the part of the members voting against the bill, to msuré even a hope of its final passage. As is well known, a number of members frequently vote in favor of a bill on engrossment, out of mere courtesy, when they intend to vote against it on its passage. Should the vote of Tuesday be reconsidered, and the bill be ordered to engrossment, its final passage is extremely doubtful. THE WALKER INVESTIGATION. The Walker investigating committee met 1 afternoon and examined Judge lenry ot Kansas City on the Pollock charge, ven. Melntyre's health having improved con- siderably, the committee will probably call at his residence before the end of the week and take his testimony, after which Walker will be heard in hisown defense, and the investiga- tion will close. THE SENATE. The Senate this morning, ina — way and without the usual unnecessary display of ora- tory and eloquence, put a quietus upon an- other of the leading issues of the session. Sen- ator Smith, from the Committee on Peniten- tiary, reported unfavorably upon Senator Davisson’s bill abolishing the convict contract labor system atthe State Penitentiary. Con- trary to general expectation, the Senator rep- resenting the labor element said nothing on the report, and a motion made by Senator Smith to ape yf post- pone further consideration ofthe bil —— on a viva voce vote. To the Post- DISPATCH reporter Senator Davisson explained that he had been before the Senate Committee several times and presented facts, figures and argu- ments in favor of the bili, but that he thought it useless to fight the report of the committee in the Senate, and for that reason had let the bill take its course. The House Committee on or is preparing an elaborate report on convict contract labor, and will probably recommend a bill for passage similar to the one killed in the Senate. Senator Saltonstall reported adversely upon Senator Moran’s celebrated ‘ ‘Jeffersonian res- olution defining the limitations of Govern- ment. Senator McGinnis introduced a bill provid- ing for the appointment of official stenogra- phers in the Circuit Courts of St. Louis.

The bill will come up for en- grossment to-morrow. On motion of Senator Jacobs the vote by which the joint and concurrent resolution providing for calling a constitutional conven- tion was lost, was reconsidered.

Jas. B. SALTONSTALL. Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments. The President ruled that the report should be laid over one day under the rules, and a vote on its adoption will be taken to-morrow. Senator McGinnis says the report will get the same vote in its favor asthat which defeated the submission resolution in the Senate, and submission will be settled finally for this ses- sion. The House and Senate took a recess until afternoon. THE HOUSE. The House this merning got down to business in short order.

TORONTO, Ont., February 17.—The charges against the reform party of Canada of receiy- ing thousands of dollars from Americans to buy up the country and defeat Sir John Mac- donald’s government, is repeated here by the Standard, Sir John’s organ. The substance of the charges made is as follows: That the sum of $150,000 was received from the the iron men in Pittsburg, Pa., bv the Toronto financial agents of the reform party, over ten days ago; that more money from the same piace for the same purpose is now on its way to Toronto; that the American money sent to Montre defeat Sir John has fallen into the hands of ?Conservatives; that Nova Scotia is being foded with American money for the same purpose, and that 4,000 have been sub- scribed to the reform campaign fund to defeat the Conservative Government and destroy the national or by Disston & Sons, saw- makers, of Philadelphia, a firm which once nearly controlled the Canadian trade in their clase of goods. THE STANDARD’S DECLARATION. The Standard says to Canadians: ‘‘ You have not only to face e rapacious horde of re- formers, Rielites, repealers, secessionists and rebels at home, but you have to contend against the gold of Michigan lumbermen, of Pennsylvania iron men, of New York and Massachusetts cotton men, and of New En- giand fishermen.’’ Sir John Macdonald arrived here yesterday n f--— ss ni avi u- stigared. the publishers of tive denice Da * mish tue scandal.

In other words they believe they know that our sacred treaty rights guar- unteed by England, bought from the United States for a price, will be sacrificed and handed over to them.’’ The Mall says the Liberals have large sums of money at their disposal, which have been subscribed for corrupt purposes by persons who will profit by a reform victory. THE COTTON BELT ROUTE. A Proposed Purchase of a Ninety Miles Long Read in Texas by Elkins et al. The stay of Steve B. Elkins in the city is due to his desire to close up a transaction that was contemplated before the recent inspection trip over the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railroad was begun. It is the purchase of the Kansas & Gulf Short Line Railway Company, which, for all its name, extends from Tyler, Tex., to Lufkin, ninety miles through a marvelously rich country. It was projected by four citizens of Tyler,Tex., W. 8. Herndon, a lawyer; T. R. Bonner of the banking firm, Bonner & Bonner; E. O. WIII- iams of E. O. Williams & Co., bankers; James P. Douglas, a local capitalist, and V. K. Stephenson of New York. Mr. is the President of the company, and is in the cl to complete the sale of the railroad which was negotiated in Texas. The road was built for $900,- 000, which sum was subscribed by the gentle- men named They are entitlod to stock cer- tificates in the amount oftheir subscriptions, but only asmail amount of stock has en issued. They wished to extend the road to the pine district and to connect with the Hunt, ington lines, and on negotiating for money to make such extensions were met with a UE gee to buy. They were ready to sell f the purchasers would undertake the ex- tensions. Those making the propositions were the moneyed men back of the St. Louis, Arkansas & exas. That road has been working in concert with the Kansas & Gulf Short ine, and so has been enabled to save sixteen miles to Houston over the Gould line.

Affecting Scene in Judge Valliant’s Court— A Case Held Up Amid Tears and Sobs— The Benefit Funds of the National As- sociation a Subject of Controversy—Mat- ters in Litigation To-Day. Judge Valliant has taken under advisement the divorce case of Mrs. Georgia Jones against John H. Jones, particulars of which were given in the Post-D1ispaTom yesterday. The testimony occupied the attention of the Court until nearly 7 o’clock last evening, and there was an affecting scene during the trial. The husband had caused an answer to be filed de- nyingthe allegations of the wife, but when the case was called up he failed to appear and his counsel did not present himself. During the day, however, Mr. Jones had dropped in- to the court-room two or three times and conversed with several parties. He was very much excited and had created a scene in a Market street car when his wife and daughters were coming Gown town to attend court. It was evident that his presence in the court-room at in- tervals during the day was a source of great uneasiness to the members of his family, who occupied seats together in one corner. As a precautionary measure an officer was directed to watch for possible developments, and when the wife was on the witness-stand relating her domestic troubles anxious glances were cast in the direction of the door and lobby in fear and expectation of a scene in court, Judge Valliant listened 1 to the sad family story of the wife and the two handsome daughters. The substance of the testimony was that Jones terrorized over his family con- stantly by extraordinary displays of temper and that they were placed in fear of their lives by some of his violent actions and speeches, suchas brandishing a sword or revolver and threats to cut and shoot. He frightened likewise the ladies of the family with whom Mrs. Jones and her daughters reside on Adams street. One or two instances of positive violence were related. On one occa- sion he hurled the youngest daughter from the piano because her playing annoyed him, and upon another he acted violently toward his wite inthe bed-room. He came recently to the residence on Adams street and forced his way in. Mrs. Jones stated that she was afraid to go out upon the street, and was never left alone in the house, because she feared an at- tack by her husband. ? Judge Valliant asked if some — — “any on rv £ w simply cor 81 N esd 22 of the wife and daughters, at the same time shaking his head, indicating that stronger evidence would be required to justify the granting of a decree. Counsel took the ground that a case had been 1 made out; that the wife’s condition had been rendered intolera- ble within the meaning of the statute, and that it was impossible for her to live with her hus- band; she could not endure the miseryand fear any longer. At this stage the wife and daughters sobbed heavily, and Mrs. Jones made an earnest appeal to the Judge. The Court was surrounded by ladies in tears, and after hearing some additional testimony relat- ing the scenes of violence it was announced that the case would be taken under advise- ment. A Squabble Over Society Funds. Mrs. Mary J. Clark brought suit against the National Association of the National American Association for recovery on a benefit certifi- cate. Judgment was rendered by default against the Association in Judge Thayer’s Court for $2,093.33. Following it was a motion by counsel for the plaintiff seeking an execution forthwith. In support of the motion was an affidavit filed in court by A. R. Hartman, attorney, who al- Jeged thatthe Association’s affairs called for an immediate execution, as the only fund in hand to meet the judgment was ,800 deposited in one of the city banks; that there were twelve claims on benefits aggregating $24,000 which the Association was endeavoring to satisfy by 4 compromise on the basis of 50 per cent, andthatan attor- ney for the Association had intimated that he would ‘‘fix things so thatthe Clark judgment could not be satisfied.’’ The Association to-day entered a motion to set aside the default obtained by Mrs. Clarke and urged several grounds for setting asidetbe judgment. It was contended thatan eement had been made among the parties interested for the beneficiaries to receive only the amount col- lected onassessment. The court overruled the motion for immediate execution and the other motion is pending. Notes in Court. The trial of the damage suit of Mary Outley against Elizabeth Gooch and others occupied the attention of a jury to-day before Judge Valliant. This is a claim of a tenant for per- sonal injuries sustained bya fall through an open cellar doorway in a passage. The ques- tion of liability of the landlord arose, but it was contended that the law holds the landlord responsible for means of safety in egress and ingress and that an outer passage must be kept clear of danger. he jury in the suit of Emma Brining against the New Home Sewing Machine Company, a claim for personal injuries sustained in an accident on the street, returned a verdict to- day — Judge Dillon’s: Court for the plaintiff for $700. The trial of the Widow Henley’s suit against the Police Relief Association is stili beforea jury in Judge Tnayer’s court. This is a claim of an ex-officer’s widow, and it is resisted on the ground that the deceased was not con- nected with the force when the death oc- curred, and that it was not shown that he had completed twenty years of continuous seryice on the force. The law docket will be called to-morrow in Judge Lubke’s court, No. 1. A VICTORY. The Prohibitionists Win in the Legislature of West Virginia. Onartestron, W.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., February 17.—Dr. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, this morning received a telegram from Prof. E. E. Barnard of Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Tenn., announcing the discovery, last evening, of another comet. It was very faint and was moving rapidly in a North- westerly direction. Its direction was in right ascension 8h. 4 min. 10 sec; declination south, 16 deg. 10 min. This discovery entitles Prof. Barnard to another Warner prize of 3100, making $1,300 in all taken by him. Accused of Shoplifting. A warrant for petit larceny was issued to- day against Dora Bruns and her daughter, Emma Bruns, who were arrested at Crawford’s dry goods store for shoplifting. Officer Mc- Farland caught them in the act of taking some articles. On being searched at the Third Dis- trict Station, a lot of goods were found on them, and some of the articles were identified by Nugent and Polack. The daughter said she was about to be married and she feared her arrest would spoil her fun. The mother claimed the daughter was innocent, she alone doing the stealing.

This may appear rather severe, but it fits into the prevailing understanding wonderfully well. If itis not an explanation of, it isa powerful restatement of the fact that some men acting under the guise of corporations seem to lose all sense of moral responsibility and will evade the laws, supply corruption funds, water stock, lie, steal and do pretty much anything short of murder to gain their ends, and then go to church with placid coun- tenances and, so far as can be determined, un- perturbed consciences. But since we cannot do without corporations, the best thing that is left us to do is to so confine their operations that there is no room for anything but straightforward conduct. A Praiseworthy Veto. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). President Cleveland's message returning the dependents pension bill to Congress is by alloddsthe ablest State paper the Presi- dent has written. The document is remark- able indeed for close, clear analysis, strong reasoning and unimpeachabie conclusions. Since the complete exposure the President has made of this loosely drawnand danger- ous billany Democrat who votes to pass it over the veto will very likely incur a judg- ment of political death at the hands of his party, and Republicans who yield it dema- gogic support will need much better reasons than they have yet made public to justify themselves before the people. The Temper of the South, From the Boston Herald. The Springfield Republican asks: ‘‘Is the South keeping the faith?’ ’—mneaning faith with the colored men. We are gratified to be- lieve that she is doing much to this end. There are nota tenth part of the social complaints and disturbances there that exist in the North to-day. But that the people of the South are perfect in tneir treatment of the colored men in all sections, is not probable. They have had adifficult problem in adjusting their relations with them, and no small amount of prejudice probably stili exists there. But the statistics published and the general reports from that section are all, on the whole, encouraging. There has been but one Southern outrage’’ alleged in this Congress, and there is ample time to explain this. Fatality of Water Gas. From the Baltimore Sun. A communication trom New York was ves terday received at the Mayor’s office showing the effects upon mortality of water fuel gas, now commonly used in large cities. The mat- ter was referred by Mayor Hodges to Mr. Fred- erick W. King, inspector and sealer of gas meters, who told him that the paper was substantially correct and worthy of at- tention. Mr. King states that the same amount of coal gas escaping from a burner that would cause death toa person in from four to five hours would result fatally in from a halt hour to an hour if it were water fuel gas. The Mayor stated he would read the paper care. fully. A Profligate Congress. Vrom the New York Won.

And a Democratic President has not yet placed his veto upon any of the wholesale grabs at the Treasury, He goes on straining at guats and swallowing cameis—solicitous about the drips from the spiggot, but apparentiy either blind or indtit- terent to the waste from the bung. It has been thought that no worse reproach could be put upon the statesmanship of the Republic than is involved in the collection of $100,000, 000 & year of unnecessary taxes for à period of seven years. There is a lower depth, a more shameful injustice. It is seen in the squan- dering of the revenues by representatives who were elected to reduce them. Is it too late for public sentiment to check the reckless ex- travagance of this profligate Congress? MEN OF MABK.

Nor will this be the only thing that the Senate will deserve favorable mention for at the close of the Forty-ninth Congress. It has passed the Presidential succession Dill, involving the unselfish act of transferring the reversion from itself to the Cabinet, and the electoral count bill, surrendering all claims that its presiding officer may have to peculiar powers in the matter. It has also done its share towards making the interstate com- merce bill a law.

BARON DE LORME CONFIDENT THAT FRANCE WOULD BE VICTORIOUS. The French Cannot Afford to Be Defeated This Time—The Navies and Armies of the Two Countries—Seventeen Classes ef Men Under Arms—Not Looking Fora Napoleon, but Seeking to Avoid a Ba- zaine—Alleged Lack of Unity in the German Empire. By Telegraph to the POst-DIsPaTcs. New York, February 17.—Baron De Lorme, the energetic young Frenchman who, for nearly a year, has been endeavoring to in- terest capitaliste inthe construction of rail- roads in China, is again in New York. His stay in America will be brief as he has made arrangements far sailing back to Europe in a few days. In conversation on the war subject he said, among other things: The general impression in this country that France will be whipped is erroneous. In case we should have war with Germany, France will de victo- rious. We cannot afford to be de- feated this time. In the Chamber of Deputies, the most violent antagonists of the Government, assert with the utmost zeal and vigor that in the event of war there will be no party in the House, except the party in sup- port of the Government. The navy of France is to-day able to cope with the navy of Ger- many upon any waters of the globe. I think weare equally ready as to armies and arms. Our military leaders have not been fully de- véloped, but we have reason to hope that emergency will bring them forth as it has for other nations and for ourown. We are not looking for a Napoleon, we are SEEKING TO AVOID A BAZAINE, and above all things we want a Frenchman with the good of his country at beart. It is possible we might be better off if war could be postponed until 1890, when we would have twenty classes of men underarms. We have only seventeen at present, the present min- tary laws having gone into effect in 1870, but the difference of these three classes is scarcely material. We hear a great deal said about the repeating rifles with which the Germans are armed. If I were commander of the French forces I would not have a repeating rifiein the army. They are only serviceable in keep- ing up the courage of the men by the constant explosion of cartridges, the bullets from which go wide of the mark. I would bave all the soldiers armed with single shooters and carry their ammunition iu the old pouches and instruct them that every bul- let must be sent to the mark. The difficulties of securing ammunition on the field of battle are almost insurmountable at times, and the soldier who is trained to recognize the value of every cartridge is the better soldier of the twotypes. Besides all this, Germany has no such great equipment of repeating rifles. There are notso many repeating rifles manu- factured at the present time as to arm over 250,000 soldiers, and leave any great portion of such arms for the other nations which have been using such equipments.’’ LACK OF. UNITY. „How about Germany, does the Emperor really desire war?’’ It is not a question of what the Emperor desires. Bismarck isthe only German. Will- lam isa Prussian. Von Moltke is under such control that he would to-day, if ordered by the Emperor, draw his sword against the Bavarians or Saxons, as readily as against aforeign foe. There is a lack of unity in the empire. There is need of unification. Bis- marck knows that the only thing that will solidify the empire is a foreign war. Knowing that. and knowing Bismarck, there can be no question bat that there will be war. Germany will find a pretext. HOwgsoon or how late it will come cannot be foretold. In my opinion the result of the elections to the Reichstag will in a measure determine the day of opening hos- tilities. Bismarck will know by the 15th of the present month how the elections are going. He hoids a trump card and he is fearless enough to play it if necessary. If he should find that the elections are going against the Government he will declare war before the elections come off to force the elections in his favor.

Consequently, they talk about the campaign of 1888, as if they were to be a factor in it, in some way or other. St. John will possibly be thrown overboard as a candi- date for the Presidency. The leaders in the movement here are canvassing to try and find some available material. Hereabout there seeins to bea disposition to try and make P. T. Barnum stand as a candidate. He is a Ke- publican nominally, but has been for years a 1 Prohibitionist. Lately, however, e has somewhat injured his chances by com- ing out in favor of high license and limiting the number of saloons in a city to one for every 500 inhabitants. That's rank treachery in the eyes of Prohibitionists. What is this Barnum boom, a PoOST-DISPATCH reporter asked ton, one of the showman’s on that int that appeared in print. Three years ago, Barnum and Forepaugh were having one of their fights,a lot of Forepaugh’s men went into a Western town to te the bills forthe show.

A NEW DEPARTURE, Ocean Trips Between New York ana En- gland to be Made in Five Days. By Telegraph to the Poast-DISPATCH. NEw York, February 17.—The probability ot making an ocean voyage between New Vork and England ata profitable figure in less than six days has hitherto been received with mors or less skepticism by men who are interested in the ocean carrying trade. It seems to bs reserved for American enterprise and pluck to effect a solution of the problem, and this solution is now assuming a practical shape, This new departure is to involve not only greater speed, safety, additional luxury of ap- pointments at the present average of cost per passage, based on the rates now exacted, but iM comprises the most perfect improvements yet knows ig maritime skill. A company which has adopt. ed the name of the Arrow Steamship Company and whose offices are 115 Broadway has been incorporated with a capital of $1,000,000. From one of its officials the correspondent of the POST-DISPATCH bas obtained an interesting resume of its object. A huge model of the first of a fleet of iron and steel vessels is now on exhibition, The model shows six funnels and six masts, representing a vessel of 5,20 tons. The application of the principles of the peculiar construction of the fleet is covered by a patent granted by the United States on January II, 1887, and also seoured in every country having a seacoast with a right to build steamships of all kinds. The pioneer vessel of the Arrow Line is now being built at Alexandria, Va. She is named THE POCAHONTAS, and she will be launched by November lot ths resent year. The registered tonnage of the ocahuntas will be 5,200, and ner dead weight 3,500 tons, Her dimensions are: Length over all, 540 feet; Detween perpendiculars, 515 feet; beam, 40 feet; extreme depth, 46 feet; draught at bow 20 feet, and atstern 25feet3inches. The capacity of her engines is 12,000 nominal horse. power with a capability for development to 27,- 000. She is meant to carry Only passengers, the treasure, express and mail matter. Her model is similar to that of the Stiletto, whict has a record ot twenty-three miles per hour. but the Pocohontas’ engine power will be 21.3 times as reat as that of the Stiletto,and this without forcing it beyond ordinary requirements. Hertendency to ron. ing, which is mostly increased by the length of a vessel, will be neutralized by the disposi. tion which will be made in the adjustment ot her weights. They will be so arranged below the water line as to prevent it. Her great kee will materially aid in the same direction. lt will be 5% feet at the bow and 1042 at the stern. It will extend below the hull the whole le h of the vessel, and willform a gigantic center-board to steady her. Her hull is to be built of Tennessee charcoal iron, and also of steel whenever necessary. If needed for Gov- ernment service in time of war, itcan be read- ily converted into A FORMIDABLE AND DANGEROUS RAM. . Mr. R. M. Freyer, engineer in charge, is the patentee of the system he has adopted inthe plans of this vessel. and he contends that ac- cording to his design the Pocahontas will be able to make an ocean D to England in nearer five than six days. She will carry 3 first-class saloon passengers and 608 second cabin and steerage. The vessel will cost $600, - 000 to build, and itis claimed by the company that it can be constructed in an American ship yard for 25 per cent less than an inferior vessel of equal tonnage can be built on the Clyde. From her passevgers alone, it is as- serted that, based upon the present rates of travel by the Cunard Line, a sufficient profit to pay her entire cost of construction can be made, as well as a large dividend, each year. It is the intention to have weekly mail service as soon as their vessels are completed, from which it is expected that a revenue of nearly $200,000 per annum will be derived. The company hopes to have these boats afloat within a year. A freight line is alsospoken of, the vessels of which will approximate the principles applied in the construction of the assenger ships. As soon as the first vessel is active service, it is P osed to raise suf - ficlen. money by ‘‘bonding’’ her to enable the company to build the second and third. In pe way it is intended to construct the entire eet. SOCIETY AT WASHINGTON, The Last Cabinet Reception—The Presi- dent’s State Dinner. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 17.—Mrs. Folsom had a large gathering of acquaintances at her Io clock reception yesterday, at Oak- view. Mrs. and Miss Cieveland drove out to- gether to attend it. Three residences of cabi- net members were open for the last reception of the season—those of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior and the Postmss- ter-General. Mrs. Manning's reception was missed, but there was a gay throng of visitors to pev respects to Mrs. Endicott, who was assisted py her daughter and several young ladies; also to Mrs. Lamar, with Mrs. Lamar. Jr., and Miss Lester, sister of the latter, and to Mrs. Vilas, with whom were Mise Vilas, Mies Foster and Miss Melbourne. The largest reception of the day and one of the estheld by any lady this season was of Mrs. Carlisle at the Riggs Bouse, assisted by twenty young matrons an maidens,and by several of the younger society men. Speaker Carlisle was present after 4 o clock and was in his happiest vein. Secre Lamar was aiso present at the re- ception at his house after office hours. e cards of the Japanese minister's wife are out for a tea on Saturday afternoon. THE PRESIDENT'S STATE DINNER. The state dinner by the President in honor ot the judiciary is the event of this evening. Mrs. R. Peckham and Miss Annie Van Vechten will receive with Mrs. and Miss Banks at their tea on Friday.

The part borne dy the diptomatic corps in contributing to the Winter e entertainment is mentioned with raise on all sides. Their own ladies have n almost unprecedentedly few in number, bat the hospitalities shown by Miss West of Great Britain, Mme. Romero of Mexico, Mme. Gana of Chili, and notably by the Chinese and Japanese Ministers, and the wife of the latter, are bright spots in the winter's social record. CAPT. C. H. LEROY.

C., February 17.—It jp quite probable that the Committee on In- valid Pensions will report back to the House to-day the dependent pension bill vetoed by the President, and recommend that it be over his veto. Asthe time progresses forthe second consideration of the bill, the effort to pass it over the veto increases. The various opinions published in the papers were, of course, carefully read by the mem- pers of the House, but the belief that the wisest thing to do would be to sustain the president was voiced from several who bad about made up their minds to vote to pass it over the veto. From the best canvass made it is safe to say that not more than eight or nine Republicans wil] vote to sustain the President. Gen. Cutcheon ot Michigan says that in the inter- view he was reported incorrectly. He was not pleased with the bill, but, under the circum- stances, he will be compelled to vote against theveto. The voteto sustain the President willshow perhaps a majority of about fifteen. Much, however, will depend upon the fullness of the House when the vote is taken. REPLIES OF POSTS.

FRANKLIN. Hartford, Conn., February 16. CARL SCHURZ’S OPINION. Gen. Carl Schurz said to yourreporter: ‘‘I think Congress ought to sustain the veto. It was an exceedingly meritorious act of the President, because, first, this pension bill is based on a pee pe which ought not to ye adopted for pension legislation generally. wthereis no doubt itis an encouragement to the abandonment of work and of mendicancy as the newspapers have said it wes. I- om opposed to the dill, secondly, because the amount taken annualy out of the Treasury would go far beyond any computation yet made. I should not be surprised if a bill like this would run the pension roll up to 5150, 000, 000 or $175,000,000. The action of President Cleve- lend is very meritorious in another respect. If this bill should become a law, the influence of the Administration, which would have in one of its branches to examine claims and to award pensions, would thereby be immensely increased, and when a President, for the good of the country, deprives himself and his Ad- ministration of such a machinery of power, it isa very patriotic act, which ali good citizens should recognize. GEN. BUTLER DECLINES ro TALK. Gen. Butler was asked whathe thought of the bill. That, said the General, 2 and gone. Let the dead bury the dead.

NEW YORK, February 17.—The details of the new ocean mail transportation between En- gland and New York, arranged by the British Admiralty, were received yesterday. The agreement has two distinct phases, whieh may be separated into mail service and war | service. The most interesting and certainly most novel feature of the new arrangement is that which concerns the em loyment of th mall boats i — described: n the emergency of war. Itis thus iitherto when war broke out, freigh enormously, and the hiring of — „ transports or cruisers was an onerous burden on the national exchequer. It was also a har- Vest time for steamship owners. The new ar- sengement with the mail contractors is to pro- 2 6 against this contingency, and to give the 2 the power of engaging their vos — on fair terms, settled, not under the pres re of urgent necessity, but in peaceful times by anticipation.

MARGUERITE FISH bad another very tine audience at the Grand last night, while the house was full at yes- terday’s matinee. The young actress has certainly made a strong impression upon the public, but really no more than she deserves, for her talent is clearly evident from the moment she steps upon the stage, where, indeed, her steps have led her since her infancy. Baby Benson“ was u most precocious child, and at one time a great favorite in ail portions of the country, but precocious chil- dren rarely develop into anything more than 4 after they attain maturer years. It is notsoin this instance, for the precocity of Baby Benson’’ has matured into far more than.ordin talent. As a mimic she is fine, the best specimen ot which is seen in her act- ing as she renders the descriptive ballad, ‘-Comes a Birdie a Flying. It is a gem in its way. That her versatility includes sentiment is noted in her escription of the supposed duel, her voice betraying deep emotion. The very next instant she romps and kicks, and sends forth a melodious trill of dainty laughter that leads one to suppose she could do nothing on earth but keep the ball a rolling.“ These changes from gay to grave; from lively to severe, are accom- plished with that ease that assuredly betoken the artist, and of such Marguerite Fish will rank among the foremost upon the stage. She appears Rar at the Grand in Our Wedding Day, and merits the large audi- ences that have greeted her. THE BIRDWELL ABDUCTION, Ended a Miserable Existence—Intimidating Witnesses—Missouri Matters.

Special Correspondence of the Post- DISPATCH. JEFFERSON CrTy, Mo., February 16.—This af- ternoon Adjt.-Gen. Jamison informed a Post- DISPATCH reporter that with the exception of Capt. T. R. Roemer of the Busch Zouaves every officer of the First Regiment, M. S. M., at St. Louis had sent in his resignation to the Governor. Gov. Marmaduke, he said, had taken no action inthe matter and would prob- ably refuse to accept the resignations, advis- ing instead that they be withheld until after final action by the General Assembly upon the militia bill in the Senate. Great hopes are based by Gen. Jamison upon the action of the House to-morrow morning, when an effort will be made to obtain a reconsideration of the vott by which the bill was defeated yesterday. H® and the Governor think that should the House consent to discuss the measure there is yet some chance of its engrossment ana passage. SHAW HARD AT WORK. This evening Harry Shaw of Ste. Genevieve, industriously among the members for the re- the opinion that he had sufficient votes prom- ised to accomplish his object. Speaker Alex- ander has also enlisted in favor of the recon- members to-morrow on the ballot. The opponents of the bill characterize the ‘*bluff,’’ and say they are still determined to beat the measure. The action of the St. Louis militiamen since yesterday has done much to strengthen the reports circulated by the ene- mies ofthe bill thatthe measure is designed to benefit St. Louie more than any other part of the State, and the prejudice against that — is being used to advantage by them in the ght. THE PARLIAMENTARY POINT is made by the anti-militia meinbers that the defeat of the House bill prevents consicera- tion by the House ofthe Senate bili, for the reason that both bills are exactly the same. The same point will also be made od Senator McGinnis aguinst consideration by the Senate of the House submission resolution passed yesterday. — * * TAXING FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES. Representative Robt. H. Whitelaw has in preparation a bill — the present law providing for the taxation of foreign insurance companies or companies not organized under the State law by increasing the rate from 1 per cent to 2 percent ofthe premiumsin excess. Of return premiums, losses and other ex- 2 last year the taxable premiums received y foreign companies amounted to over N. 262.000, on which they paid a tax ot $22,620. The taxable wealth of a company, as con- strued under the present law, is largely, if not all, clear profit,and as compared with the taxes paid by private individuals, and railroad and other large corporations, the rate is very small, the proportion being, according to Mr. Whitelaw, about one-half to the actual valua- tion. 7 - * THE GENERAL FUNDING BILL. The Ways and Means Committee of the House will consider to-morrow afternoon the —.— funding bill, which provides fora re- uction of the State interest tax from 20 per cent to 15 per cent. A majority of the nembers of the committee are of the opinion that since the law makes it mandatory upon the General Assembly to reduce the rate of taxation below 15 per cent immediately the taxable wealth of the State shall amount to over $900,000 ,000 it leaves it optional with the same body to fix the rate as low as 15 per cent, and on that theory the committee will prob- ably proceed. . a * AN EARLY CANVASS. The canvass for the next Democratic nomi - nation for Attorney-General has already be- gun among the politicians here in the interest of Speaker Alexander, Senator M. A. Downing and ex-Speaker John Wood. Allthree of the candidates are popular and they start with Alexander and Wood together and Downing slightly inthe lead. This may be accounted for by the fact that Downing was first on the track and thorough- ly posted before his opponents had been fairly put in the race. Senator Dave Ball of Pike is also favorably mentioned asa probable candidate. Just at present the little Senator’s attention is completely absorbed in his school-book bill. Should it become a law his friends will think him big enough for Lieutenant-Governor and will start him for the Democratic Convention with his nose ( pointed at that office. * 0 — THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. Secretary of State McGrath, who is a well of inspiration for the Democratic members, is opposed to alteration of the boundary lines of the present Congressional Districts of St. Louis toconform to the new wards mapped out by the St. Louis Redistricting Commis- sion. It is probable, however, that some Republican member will introduce a bill for that purpose shortly. STOP that cough. Red Cross Cough Drops, 5 cents per box. Your druggists sell them.

HIGH RIVER RATES. — * The Export Trade Suffering from a Heavy Freight Tariff. The grain men are just now kicking them- selves and everyone in sight for a condition of things which was never anticipated and which nips in the bud all their hopes of profit tn the export trade. The river is louked upon as the great outlet for grain when all other avenues are closed and the opening of navigation this year was awaited with cheerfulness, notto say exuberance of good humor. A booming exporttrade was antici- pated with good reason. The demand for grain. particularly corn, is strong in urope and the price is such that with a fair freight rate all the grain in sight could be placed ata profit. The grain men, at large risk, and with considerabie expendi- ture of energy, scoured the West and Northwes for grain. Something like 9,000,000 bushels were brought here in readiness for the river opening and now that the river is open and booming, the export trade is almost dead. It is caused by the arbitrary rate which the barge line has placed on grain. Asarule, with deep water to the gulf, the rate is 5 to ö cents, which is fair enough and just now would take away the bulk ofthe grain. But it is from 6½ to 7 cents a bushel and this amounts almost to a prohibition on the export trade. Grain can be moved at this rate, but at scarcely an — ‘The exporters regard it as a heavy hard- ship that after collecting so large a store of grain they should be unable to move it be- cause the barge line has put upthe ratea couple of cents. They say it amounts to keep- ing the grain here. Several heavy orders have been refused by exporters because of the high rivet. They say that this rate is now as high as it is when the river is low and when the barges can carry only about half of the resent loads. This, of course, gives the arge line an enormous profit and checks the movement of the grain. The worst phase of the condition, however, is not only that the high river rate works against St. Louis trade and St.Louis exporters, but it gives Kansas City and the West and Northwest an enormous advantage over this city. Kansas City is said to have an all- rail rate of Il cents to New Orleans. With a rate of 7 cents from here to New Orleans, Kansas City has an advantage of several cents over St. Louis and all by rail too. Thus all the benefit which the river should conferon St. Louis is wiped outand it becomes a positive disadvantage. The grain men are talking seriously ofa new barge line as just as badly needed asa new bridge. President Haarstick claims that the barge line has been untortu- nate in suffering heavy loss and there are not barges enough for the demand nor tonnage enough at New Orieans and the rate must be high. But on the other hand the grain men say that at the present rate the profit in carrying grain is enormous, that it stops the export trade, and if the barge line cannot handle the grain here there is stringent need for another line and competition on the river. One of te heaviest exporters said to-day that another barge line was a necessity, as he was unable to fill his orders, and that if the present rate continued he expected to do his export business direct from Kansas City. He said also that with a reasonable river rate that 2,000,000 bushels of corn could be sent out of St. Louis as quickly as the barges could take them. The chances are that the interstate commerce law will make the river of greater importance to St. Louls than ever, and the question of facill- ties for prompt and oe transportation on it cannot be overestimated. — OUR NEIGHBORS.

New Tonk, February 17.—Much has been written and said regarding the transfer of the great and only Kelly from the Chicago ball club to the Bostons. Everybody interested in the national game expressed opinionsas to the result of Kelly’s joining Boston’s club and of leaving Chicago’s famous White Stocking team, of which he had so long been a member. But few took the trouble to analyze the base ball situation which Kelly’s transfer changed so greatly or to inguire into the truth of the statement that Boston paid $10,000 for Kelly’s release. It is a possipility that the Boston club did pay Spalding that amount for Kelly, but it is very improbable. Apart from the well-known factthatthe Boston club never pays EXORBITANT PRICES for players or to players, there are other things which go to show that no such sum was paid, if, indeed, there was a money considera- tion at all. On the day after the deal was made it was shown how it was probable that Kelly’s transfer permitted an easy solution of the League’s recent difficulty of having nine clubs, and later the events go to show that Kelly was a peace offering to the Bos Club. Ever since Pittsburg was admitted to the League the magnates have been troubled with nine clubs. The parent base ball body held an undated resignation of the Kansas City Club, and at first it was thought to be very easy to oust that organization. But the Cowboys re- delled and threatened lawsuits, and the League wasin aquandary. Then came the effort to drive St. Louis tothe wall, and later akick was made by the Mound City Club. There were also dissensions among those who sought to get rid of the Maroons and Cowboys. Chicago and Boston had determined to secure Glasscock and NEW YORK WANTED DENNY. No agreement could be effected and the affair was exasperating to the League and puzzling tothe public. Finally Kelly made a statement that gave Spalding an opportunity to settle all difficulties. The great player, feeling aggra- vated atthe way Spaiding treated him last season, published a statement that he would never play with that club again. Spalding found that Kelly meant what he said and the dicker was begun with Boston, which ended in Kelly’s joining that club. In considera- tion of getting the champion batsman Boston waived all claims to Glasscock, who will now go to Chicago and New York will get Denny, who was all along wanted here. There were, however, other factors in the problem. These were the St. Louisclaimto sell all players, excepting Glasscock and Denny, with the club’s fran- chise to Kansas City., and the latter club’s claim to remain in the League. The League of course agreed to this under certain consider- ations and so all difficulties were removed. Now the League’s Schedule Committee will be enabled to draft a schedule for eight ciubs. These will be New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington in the East, and Pittsburg, Chicago, Detroit and Kansas City in the West. There isa SUSPICION IN CERTAIN QUARTERS, however, that the truce which was patched up with Kansas City will not last more than one season and that a mild manner of ‘‘freeze- out’’ willbe instituted. This can be done by increasing the number of scheduied games. That would keep the club on the road fora greater period than last season and at greater expense. Under the guarantee system recently adopted the club receipts while abroad will be greatly diminished, those at bome will be ay’ A little more. The purchase of the St. Louis franchise and bigger salaried team will, itis expected, prove such a load to the Cowboy managers, that they will gladly retire in 1888 in favor of Indianapolis. 1 — ASSOCIATION PITCHERS, Foutz of the Browns Heads the List of Winners. The record of pitchers’ yictories in the American Association arena in 1886 presents some very interesting figures, showing what clubs the several pitchers of the Association who were the most successful during the cam- paign were most effective against. The record is as follows: * um odoaK Amn, uA e neunomg Sceneo es ‘80 AoA [BIOL One V önnen uo 8 2 FOR e OD) ****** ins 9 Sn OP RHO, @ ea! ane gegessen — — „ Maruthers.. . egal OUWOOOMm me Das": O~3~1 DDO r- 1 & OP ADEE IDAAID Lore aeoe-199)/"**** 888888 0 be 5 at Ramsey bothered the St. Louis Club’s team of batsmen more than any other of the American pitchers opposed to them, while Foutz proved to be the most troublesome pitcher the Pittsburg batsmen faced.

Galvin knocked spots out of the Athletic batsmen, while Morris and — py! troubled the Mets the most, Ramsey and Morris bothering the Baltimores more than any other pitchers. Foutz beats the record in placing the most victories to his credit, Morris being a close second and Ram- sey a good third. Morris and Galvin lead in winning the most victories against a single club, Foutg and Kamsey being next. Ramsey — scored one victory against the Athletics, and Kilroy but one against Cincinnati, ——, * INDIANATOSLIS. The Hoosier City’s Chances for Admission to the League Increasing.

The sale of Kelly has created an immense sensation among the clubs of the League. A Detroit special to the Herald states that Pres- ident Stearns of the Detroits said of the Kelly deal: It is certainly a trade by which Glass- cock is to go to Chieago, or that Boston shall trade Radbourn for Kelly. Iam notready to believe that the League Committee would lend itself to such a bargain without regarding the rights of other elubs.“ anager Watkins said: It Day and Spald- ing, working for their own interests, can dom- inate President Young, the third member of the committee, at the expense of the restof the League, they may freeze out Detroit as soon as they please. They will find, however, that if the committee can dispose of a player, the League can dispose of a franchise, and that, if the League chooses, the St. Louis and kansas City players must go where it dic- tes A Chi © special quotes Capt. Anson as say- ing: ‘‘When Spalding first mentioned the matter of Kelly’s release to me and named the rice I said: ‘Let him — ‘What!’ says alding; ‘get —— without Kelly?’ ‘Get ong without anybody who don’t want to stay with us. If there is any one else dissatisfied let him go, too. ‘*Itell you, gentlemen,’’ sald Anson, ad- dressing the crowd, ‘‘the Chicagoclub with- out Mike Kelly is stronger than it ever was be- fore.

The Southern League has not yet completed its circuit. Thus far there are but six clubs who have bonded themselves to play the sea- son out. They are: New Orleans, Mobile, Nash- ville, Memphis, Charleston and Savannah. The League isto be made up of eight clubs and Birmingham and Montgomery, the two remaining candidates, are only speculations as yet. Atlanta is not to be admitted this year owing to the hostility of Nashville and Savannah. The Southern League has a grand opportunity to secure a first-class town as one of her eight clubs for the season of 1887, and if she does not take it, she can have herself alone to biame. St. Louis will certainly be out of the National League this ear, and the question of applying to the outhern Association for admission has been discussed more or less favorably by Mr. Stromberg and his confreres. The League Base-Ball Company has a first-class park, can get together a good team in a month’s time, and begin playing the South- ern schedule dy the time the Southern season opensup. The town can be conven- lentiy added to the circuit, Memphis being but one night’s trip from this city, and the Southern League clubs would draw well here. If the Southern directors push the matter they may succeed in attaching a good ball town to their League. Base Ball Briefs. Phil Powers has been appointed a League umpire. Caruthers has signed a new Chicago pitcher named Dawson forthe Browns. The young man is expected to become another Ramsey. It's a dead sinch that we'll beat Chicago in April, now that Kelly is gone,’’ says Bill Gleason, the two-base-hit man of the Browns. Ben Fine, the gentleman who ‘‘completed’’ the deal between Kansas City and the Maroons, has booked abet at the rate of two to one that Kelly has not been sold to Boston. Of Birmingham and Montgomery, the former has the better prospects of admittance to the Soutbern League. St. Louis would make a splendid eighth city, and her club would draw like wild fire in the South. Mr. Ben Fine bad the nine-club problem all squared with Kansas City in as the eighth town. The Eastern Directors of the League, whose opinions are quoted elsewhere, do not seem to favor Mr. Fine’s pian. Dave Foutz led the Louisville club in batting out at Frisco. His average was 416. Hub“ Collins came next with an average of . 802, and McDonald, ‘‘Reddy’’ Mack and Phil Reccius tied for third place with averages of .300. From the present outiook Indianapolis will be a League city this year. Kansas City, al- though arushing little town, is too far from the East to be acceptable to the League. Be- sides this Kansas Oity has not avery great ad- vantage over the Hoosier town in point of population. 8 — A SOLID GOLD BELT. To be Presented to Sullivan—His Injured Arm Rapidly Kecovering. NEW YORK, February 17.—John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, came to this city from Boston yesterday to have his injured arm examined by his physician, Dr. Sayre. He looked in first-class condition, and seemed in excellent spirits. ‘‘I never felt better in my life, said he, ‘‘with the exception of this, (throwing open his coat and exposing his arm, which was suspended in a black silk sling) and it doesn’t bother me much. I can use it sufficiently to dress without help and Dr. Sayre assures me that I will de able to go on the road the 10th of next month. Youn can bet that I'll get square ö with the next man that stands before me and I hope it will be Cardiff. Ihave heard nothing from either Smith or Mitchell or their backers, but lam anxious to fight both of them within two weeks of each other, but I want Mitcheil first. I'll fight either of them for all or nothing, and for any amount. Pat Sheedy will be here from Boston Saturday to arrange for the mak- ing of a champion belt to be presented to me by the citizens of this city, Boston and Phila- delphia. Ihe belt will bé made of solid gold withouta bit of silver in it, and will be set with 198 large diamonds. It will be the finest thing of the kind in the worid. Dr. Sayre will break the plaster-of-Paris cast on my arm to- morrow * and make an examination, after which Iwill go to Boston on the first train, as my mother is very ill. drinking a drop.’’ * Another Championship.

Railroad Managers Trying to Ascertain How to Obey the New Law—The Bill Ambiguous in Its Terms—Everything Depending Upon the Commission for Success—Good Men Needed. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcH. New YorA, February 17.—Chauncey M. De- pew, President of the New York Central & Hudson River Raliroad, when asked by the Post-DISPATCH correspondent his views con- cerning the interstate commerce Dill said: The interstate commerce bill having become a law, every railroad manager ofthe country is devoting most of his time to finding out what is necessary in orderto obey it. There is no disposition on the part of the railroads to evade it. Unfortunately, this billis ambigu- ous in its terms. The presidents ofthe Van- derbilt system, east of Chicago, met with their counsel a week before the bill was signed; it was a private meeting, its sole object being to adopta uniform course of action in harmony with the bill, presuming it should becomealaw. Discussion developed a wide variety of opinions, and the counsel were about equally divided as to the meaning of those clauses which most affect the shippers and the roads. The trunk line presidenta met at Mr. Fink’s office for the same purpose, namely, toagree upon a uniform course of action under the law and loyally put in force its provisions. The same trouble in under- standing what it means and what the roads must do was developed there, and we came to the understanding that every manager in the country must remain in THE TANTALIZING POSITION, with the best intention and legal advice, of standing a chance of being a victim of all its penalties. It is the intention of the trunk lines to ask the Railroad Commission, as soon as it orgattizes, to give them its interpretation of the law. the view of the bill presented by Senator Cul- lom, Ido not apprehend any evil effects from its enforcement; on the contrary, much good may come from it. every form of rebate, special advantage to individuals or localities should aisappear in this country. were It the Railroad Commission take I am most anxious that discrimination and If that done it would remove friction between the public and roads, and place the railroad companies upon a much sounder ba- sis, becauge there never will be any trouble about rates. roads are so largely in excess ofthe necessities or business of the countrythat with their com- petition with each other and the ever present rivalry of all water lines, bound to be reasonable and on a downward scale. The number and miles of rail- rates are always The railroad-commission feature will work admirably in furnishing a tribunal to which a postage stamp can carry a complaint. I predict that whenthe people understand that without expense they can have grievances by a competent found that ninety- every hundred of will be nine out of the alleged wrongs perpetrated by the railroad companies do not exist. The failure or suc- cess of the measure will depend upon the commission. They must interpret and en- force a law which does not interpret itself. If the commission take the view of the conferees of the House, then, of cdurse, the shorter lines to the seaboard, which connect to Chi- cago and St. Louis by one corporation, will have incalculable advantages and tue consolidation of continuous and connecting roads will become necessary that they may may live. The longer lines, also, will lose traffic and the contributory side lines, which are of limited mileage, Will be PARTLY DRIED UP. On the other hand, as affecting the a the rates from the West to the seaboard and from the seaboard to the West would then be the — or sum ot the local rates, and that would be prohibitory and suspend the traffic of the country. So long asthe weasure is sus- ceptible of two interpretations, one of which ermits the movement of trafilc without riction, and the other which would necesst- tate an extra session of Congress, I believe that the good sense of both the commission and the courts will override all the technicul- ities and give the billa liberal construction. There are many features of the measure which, under the light of experience, will be repealed or modified by subsequent Congresses, Ultimately, with the elasticity and genius of American business men, which class includes carriers, producers and ship- pers, to adapt themselves to the conditions which surround them, the country, after a short period of confusion, will adjust itself to the changes necessitated by the legislation. The bill will not be repealed; Congress is per- manently committed to interstate legislation. It violates all the accepted E of the powers of Congress, but will be upheld by the Supreme Court. The railroads so far as I know are not pressing — candidates for Commissioner. All they askisthe appoint- ment of men of national reputation, whose name will be a sufficient guarantee of the ability and integrity of the board, and com- mand for its decisions the confidence of the country. While the roads might suffer at first from such a commission they will, in the end, be immensely benefited as against haphazard legislation. It is a misfortune that the salary offered to the commissioners is not sufficient to com- mand first-class men, and that, according to the terms of the bill, they must give up all other business or employment. xcept for the latter clause I know some of the best busi- ness men in the country would take the place.

Guernsey, President of the Guernsey Furniture Company, has recently been East making extensive purchases of novelties in furniture. Many of the designs are to be used as models for the workmen em- ployed in the Guernsey factory. The sales- rooms of the Guernsey Company on Locust and Third streets, which might as appropriately be called their pariors, are an example of the success that invariably attends enterprise, in- dustry and fair dealing. The firm which com- menced business on Fourth eight years ago with a limited capital made a strong test of its popularity when it left the old stand to remove to its present quarters, commodious, artistic and inviting, are what wassupposed to be the thoroughfare. The wisdom of the departure is proven, how- ever, by the almost incredible increase in their business, which, from the modest dis- play of Guernsey, Jones & Co., has developed to the mammoth house of the Guernsey Com- pany, whose capital is unlimited. Mr. Guernsey, the principal stockholder in the company, has for a long time been closely identified with the electric lighting business, and a superior business tact has made this in- cidental venture a potent tributary to the fur- niture business. During his trip East the gen- tleman secured control of A NEW ELECTRIO MOTOR. car on a miniature track, crossing the entire store on Locust street, has been erected. The car on this track starts at a brick station called St. Louis and runs to a ter- minal marble depot marked Boston. In its route it passes through two wooden depots, Chicago and Cincinnati, on which is does not stop at way stations.’’ A system of mirrors duplicates and multiplies the track and stations until the connections and dis- tances seem interminable. The model, while serving the purpose of its owner, is an added feature to the attractive store. The motor is in every respect an ca Ch pene over other electric motors shown here, and will soon be piaced on a full-sized track, with heavy gauges, showing its economic application to any old streetcar. It is Mr. Guernsey’s in- tention to go extensively into the motor busi- ness, not only for locomotive purposes, but to furnish power to factories and printing offices. With this in view he has disposed of his inter- est in the Guernsey-Soudder Electric Light Company. From the Guernsey store a single wire conducts sufficient power to the printing establishment of Clayton & Sons, directly op- posite, to replace a three- horse power steam engine which formerly ran their ma- chinery. Clayton & Sons have not had steam up in seven weeks, and the motor fs do- ing better work than the old engine, while oc- cupying but one-tenth of the space. Mr. Guernsey has also control of a system of over- head wires, which furnishes a practical solu- tion of the much discussed question of poles, conduits, etc., and a few months will witness the inauguration of some revolutions in elec- tric work in St. Louis. „Mardi Gras Carnival.’’ 10.
